Voting by proxy

What is voting by proxy?

A proxy is someone who can vote on your behalf if you are unable
to get to your polling station on election day. They should be
someone you trust to vote the way you want to. Apart from close
members of your family, a person cannot be proxy for more than two
people at any one time.

Can I apply?

You may apply to vote by proxy for a permanent or fixed period
if you are registered to vote already and meet one or more of the
following criteria:

You are blind or otherwise physically incapacitated

You or your spouse would be prevented from voting in person due
to work or if you are studying at college or university
